VDOT Software and License Program

Program Overview

The Virginia Department of Transportation will provide Consulting firms, Contractors and Utility companies that have ACTIVE VDOT PROJECTS with the necessary software and licenses to develop Right of Way and Construction Plans.

Locally Administrated - (Only projects in the SYIP are eligible for software license)

Currently, the software utilized by the department for designing roadways is GEOPAK V8i and MicroStation V8i. In addition to the software and licensing VDOT furnishes Cell Libraries, an Online CADD manual, and Resource Files.

VDOT has an Enterprise License Subscription agreement with Bentley Systems which provides maintenance and licenses for MicroStation and GEOPAK software.
The CADD Support group provides technical support for these licensed software packages. The software and licensing is issued for the duration of each individual active project contract. Click here for information related to training.

All technical support, software and licensing issues must be routed to the CADD Support Section.
